While I somewhat agree with the general idea (which is why my fairly new set is 720p), the difference in resolution is really only noticeable at larger screens. While DVDs for example look just fine on my 19" monitor or 26" bedroom set, on my 56", the lack of resolution can hurt my eyes. Similarly, 1080p only offers marginal gains for your 40-60" set. Once you go higher, esp with wall projectors, the difference is far more noticeable. Not to mention 1080p sets tend to ship with newer technologies such as higher contrast ratios and so forth.

The value point for most consumers though remains 720p until sets get big enough to warrant the higher resolution / cost.
